Rapp plays Surry on Tuesday at Sussex. The Surry girls play Riverheads at 5:30 and the boys game follows that. Unfortunately only the championship games are played at VCU now. The 1A championship is Saturday at 1pm.
Am I reading this right? I know for a fact that the same group og Surrys players that beat Bowdlers team didnt play BA Walkers teamTo piggy back on my good friend NNDman's answer:
Surry also had Shernard Newby on that team with Joey who later played DB for Virginia. Dorrell Warren the Region A POY on that team and Patrick Barnes-later the AD at Surry and High Jumper John Stringfield rounded out the starting five. Best team I've seen at the "A" level to never win it all. (And believe me, I know.) They were sophomores when they beat Bowdler and the Raiders, Freshman when they almost knocked out B.A. Walker and Nandua in the Region semis at Lancaster. Arcadia knocked out Surry when the group was Seniors.
Also a good time for me to remember the coach of those great Surry teams, the late Joe Ellis-Joey's dad. Class act and I would imagine still missed greatly by folks down in Region A. Won the state title in the last game he ever coached and died just a couple of weeks later. Wife Doris wrote a book about his life and sold it at the Clinic some years ago. If anyone gets a chance to get it, I would. It's a great read! Called "Going Out A Champion".
